The recruitment process usually has several different stages. We need the best and most committed people to join our team as, every day at work, you are required to give 100 per cent.
If you are one of the successful applicants to make it through the process, you will be rewarded with a competitive salary, fantastic career opportunities, and the chance to work as part of a highly skilled Service, whilst achieving further qualifications and personal goals.
Below are example of what various stages of the recruitment process might look like:
- Stage one – Register interest, realistic job preview, eligibility and online assessment process
- Stage two – Completion of online application form
- Stage three – Bleep tests
- Stage four – Practical assessment and verification of ability tests
- Stage five – Presentation and interview
- Pre-employment checks
The above timeline may be subject to variation and there may be additional assessments required, depending on the number of applications received.
